Carl Rackoff - Sad News...

[Mike Fields]

I'm sorry to inform everyone that I just received a call from Betsi, who informed me that Carl passed away at about 10:10am this morning. He was a damned good friend who will be missed.

We will let you know about arraignments as soon as they're made.

Normally, I don't put links on message boards, as it's considered rude. This, I think, is a little bit different.

I've written a blog on my site that you're all invited to view. Follow the link below.

Carl, you'll be missed.

Your kind heart and passion for racing has left a lasting impression on many of us in the racing community.

I'll miss the chats on "racing theory" and miss the friendship we've had. You've joined many great ones up there now. Enjoy it.

I along with all of us at the Jam wish the Rackoff family peace and comfort and if you guys need anything, we at the Jam will be here for you.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Rackoff family . I had the chance to drive for CARL AND Betsi two years ago and racing was what he loved to do .How ever the night turned out good or bad he was happy to be there with Betsi and the crew and talk about how he could do it better the next time . Carl will be missed by all of us at Outlaw inc . Dave and Cindy Brigati
